New US ambassador to Cambodia W Patrick Murphy said he will “advocate for reconciliation, adherence to the principles enshrined in the Cambodian Constitution and efforts to protect the country’s sovereignty”.

Murphy, who is currently the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary at the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, was confirmed by the US Senate on Thursday as the next ambassador to Cambodia.

“If confirmed, I will advocate for reconciliation, adherence to the principles enshrined in Cambodia’s Constitution and efforts to protect the country’s sovereignty,” Murphy said.

He said he would “like to grow connections between Pueblo and Phnom Penh and Boston and Battambang by increasing the

International Visitor Leadership Programme and other exchanges and sustaining the Peace Corps programme through which hundreds of Americans have contributed to Cambodia’s development and mutual understanding”.

The confirmation comes a year after US President Donald Trump approved his nomination.

The US Senate returned the nomination of Patrick Murphy as Ambassador to Cambodia back to US President Donald Trump on Thursday, as the American government shutdown entered its third week.

The US Senate website announcement said it returned Murphy’s nomination as ambassador as his appointment was not approved by the close of the 115th US Congress period on January 3.

“The request of [Patrick Murphy] has been returned back to the US President and it is the implementation of Paragraph 6, Article 31 of Internal Order in the US Senate,” the announcement read.

According to Paragraph 6, if the Senate is paused or in a vacation period for over 30 days, all nomination requests will be returned to the president via the State Department. To be considered, the president will need to make the request once again.

Murphy was nominated Ambassador to Cambodia by Trump on August 10 to replace outgoing Ambassador William Heidt. He was set to be confirmed once he received approval from the Senate before the close of the 115th Congress.

Thanks to the Trump shutdown, his appointment of Ambassador to Cambodia is being held up.

I know about Oakland, a friend of mine just moved there, she says it's ok, apart from a few weirdos roaming the streets, but police response is very quick and quite effective, so most of the time, there is little to worry about. As for the 'revolution', I am thinking that to be a global problem, really, in this case I'd rather be American than Dutch,.. and look at places like Sweden, all the social democrats are now going neo-nazi from the massive muslim immigration. And here, the Chinese invasion is in full swing, and many of those folks are narcissist nationals lacking general manners imho. And they've been selling their goods at bargain rates, locking their currency to the dollar. I don't know who the gorilla in the room is, but blaming all our troubles on the US, is just so main stream, really.
